The women's lacrosse team traveled to California to play in four contests over spring break. The Loggers picked up only one win during the stretch, an 18-12 victory over Whittier on March 15.
The team's first opponent was Redlands on March 15. The 13-20 non-conference loss was a hard-fought contest. The score stayed close for most the game until late in the second half when the Bulldogs notched the last five goals to pull away.
When the Loggers traveled to Whittier the next day, they took the offensive. With a 31-21 shots advantage, UPS tallied nine goals in both periods to seal the win. The Loggers were led in scoring by freshman Karen Hansen with seven goals, followed by sophomore Jessica Knight who tacked on five more.
The next game took UPS to Claremont Mudd Scripps College in Claremont on March 16. UPS was not able to muster much of an attack and failed to repeat their win falling to the Stags 20-6.
UPS was handed a fourth and final loss of the trip by Pomona-Pitzer with a 9-7 defeat on March 18. Again the Loggers struggled to score goals, but their defense kept the game close.
The Loggers will get a shot at revenge in their next two games when both Whittier College and Claremont Mudd-Scripps College travel to Tacoma on April 6 and 8.
The games will be played on East Athletic field at 2 p.m. and 1 p.m.
